THE VACANT JUDGHsHIP.
"No Candidates Considered" is the
Presidents Declaration.

mo Candidates Considered" is the
Presidents Declaration.
WASHINGTON, May 30-The President
has given no consideration whatever to the
question as to who shall succeed the late Jus
tice Woods on the United States Supreme
bench, He thinks that it is not necessary to
appoint successor before the beginning of
the October term of the United States Su-
preme Court. He is confirmed in the opinion
by Chief Justice Waite and the other mem
bers of the Supreme Court, who have in
formed him that the same arrangements
can be made as to the business of the Fifth
circuit during this summer that were made
last summer when Justice Woods went West
for his health. The President never crosses
a stream until he comes to it, so that the
present action of the candidates now, either
privately or in the newspapers, is at best a
waste of time 1t is worse, so far as the can
didates themselves are concerned, for no
candidate will be appointed.
NO CANDIDATES CONSIDERED.
The President has said emphatically that
be would not be disposed to regard favor
ably any man who appeared as a candidate
for the Office. The President will appoint
man from the South If proper man can be
found. He will not necessarily confine his
inquiry to the Fifth circuit He thinks
that inasnuch as the South has no represent
ative ON the Supreme bench his first ap-
pointment to it shall be made from that
section. The President has said that he
must be man of vigor, mental and
phyical, with possibilities of growth, if pos
sble under 55 years Of age, and not more
than 60. He agrees with the Senate Judici-
airy Committee that there should be at least
ten good years work in the man who is APP
pointed to the United States Supreme bench.
ELIGIBLE MATERIAL GROWING SCARCE.
1t will be seen that these conditions merely
restrict the number of men from whom the
President can select In fact, as almost
every lawyer of prominence in the South has
been mentioned or presented as a candi-
date, they may be almost said to restrict his
choice to men ON the bench. II is on that
case that a representative from Georgia
who is earnestly supporting ex-Repre9enta-
tive Hammond, the Georgia candidate, said
to-day that If Judge Simonton, Of South
Carolina, should be considered for the place
he would be likely to get in as the ablest
judge in the South.

In addition TO the list of the prizes an
nounced to be awarded by the board of
Judges, the committee bestowed upon the
First Light Battery, of Wisconsin, a gold
medal for proficiency i'll the sabre drill, and
silver medal to the Louisville Legion
Drum Corps, for proficiency in music and
movement When the commanding officer
of the National Rifles, of this city, reported
III accordance with orders to receive the
fourth infantry prize, he was informed that
protest had been entered by the Washing
ton Light Infantry, and that the prize
awarded to the Rifles would be withheld,
pending a decision by the board. All the
other prizes were delivered to the winners
on the ground.
THE DRILL CLOSED.
Following the ceremony the line was
thrown back about fifty yards, and several
of the winning companies gave exhibition
drills during the time which interviewed
between awarding the prizes and dress
parade at 5 O'clock.
After the dress parade, the hattalions
marched about the field and made their
way severally to the camp, some of them
haltlng and presenting arms as others
passed. Military men are one in opinion
that the drill, despite the weather, has
proven an eminent success, and there is
already talk of making a permanent
organization for the purpose of repeating it
periodically.
To Gen. Albert Ordway, Chief of staff,
and his associates, upon whose shoulders
fell the weight of the labors of the week, is
accorded unstinted praise for the excellence
of the arrangements in general, and largely
for the exact manner in which they have
been carried out.

The Earthquake Shocks Too Much for
Their Equanimity
CITY OF MEXICO, VIA GALVESTON, May
3o.-Up to 10 o'clock this morning no second
shock of earthquake had been experienced
and this is fortunate, as some Of the high
and modern buildings constructed of light
porus stone, unfit for such lofty buildings,
are badly cracked and might easily fall
under any additional strain. Very heavy
rain fell during the night and cooler
weather prevails. The shock was much
felt in the high building in Cinco DeMayo
street, occupied by the United States Con
sui General Examinations are now being
made of roof tops by the city officials on
account of the danger arising from rotten
beams supporting the heavy load Of titles
Recently in the Palace of Justice where the
courts sit, the roof fell in. Luckily the
room was unoccupied at the time. The
earthquake shock has created fresh alarm
about the safety of roofs in the buildings of
great age.

FOGGY WEATHER.

There was smart breeze from the
northeast. The yachts carried large topsails,
the Genesta and Thistle having iackyarders
aloft The Irex and Genesta crossed the
line abeam at 10 o'clock, the latter being to
windward, and took the lead, while the
Thistle, which was astern could not
reach past the Irex to windward from the
bell buoy. 1t was turn to windward,
and while the lrex and Thistle were
pinching close to the wind the Genesta got
a long lead 1t took the Thistle a long time
to get the lead but eventually she did so.
Soon afterward the fog came so thiclzly that
the yachts lost much time in trying to flId
the Bawdser bank buoy. Finally they
went round the Cork lightsbip in
stead, and never afterward got near
each other In the long beat to wind
ward the Thistle fairly showed Superior
weatherly qualities to her rivals, and that
in very adverse circumstances. She was
planted to leeward of both the Irex and the
Genesta at the outset and for a long time
after hauling by on wind, was hampered by
first one and then the other. Further, the
Thistle had too snail jib for
such day and had to carry
a jib-headod topsaii against the big yard
sails of her antagonist, III consequence of
her working jib being too large 10 set. In
spite of all she weathered both the ITex and
the Genesta. In the breeze it was a
squeezing trial, and she simply lost the
first place through the loss of the
weather mark which the Irex and the
Genesta picked up. As an instance of the
nature of the trial, the Wendur, which started
five minutes after the Cracks, was round
the buoy before the Trek and gave the latter
q cue as to its locality. The Genesta sailed
well to windward and was quite match
for the Irex on this point, but going in
from the latter was faster. Tho Thistle was
one-third of a mile ahead when she lost the
buoy.
